What you missed at Stormy Daniels' election night performance in Greenville

The mood was jovial and decidedly apolitical Tuesday as a late-night group of Stormy Daniels fans crowded into The Trophy Club in Greenville to watch the woman herself deliver an energetic performance.

Daniels, an adult film actress and dancer whose alleged relationship with Trump rocketed her to the national stage, has been in Greenville since Friday, delivering five shows at the adult club on Airport Road on Friday and Saturday and resuming her topless act Monday before signing off with two shows on Election Day.

She paused briefly from taking photos with fans, men and women, to praise Greenville, a city she has visited half a dozen times. On a table ready for her autograph lay copies of her book, "Full Disclosure," and back issues of Penthouse magazine. She said she had talked to people at the club from across the political spectrum, including many fans of the president.

"People here are so open-minded," she said. "There were a lot of Trump supporters here yesterday."

Though embroiled in a public legal battle and occasional war of words with Trump, which included him referring to her as "Horseface" two weeks ago on Twitter, Daniels shared no thoughts Tuesday night on the election or the president. Few seemed to share Trump's unflattering opinion of her appearance.

Her performances had been promoted as "Election Specials," and the club had suggested at one point that she might provide commentary on the day's results.

Before Daniels came on stage, about 75 men and women sat at tables clustered around The Trophy Club's stage, nursing drinks and watching the warm-up acts.

But the crowd stood as one and advanced toward the stage when the DJ announced at 10:30 p.m. Daniels was coming on.

As Lenny Kravitz's "American Woman" boomed through the club's sound system, Daniels marched through a curtained door frame, under an archway of red, white and blue balloons and revealed an equally patriotic sequined bodice. She eventually dropped the bodice and entertained the gasping onlookers by dripping hot wax on her bare chest and abdomen.

"She's still got it," said one man, waving a $5 bill.

Trophy Club owner Jay Levy has said he has known the adult entertainer, 39, for two decades and said she always brings in great crowds.
